Kiera Kittie, well, actually they copied, just changed some parts of their own film because of those copyright thingies, and, of course, made their film shorter than the original one.

[@jaywilliams2265]

@@youtuber-official How can you claim they copied ANYTHING? This is clear African folklore. Quit defending Disney: the king of stealing peoples' stories. Look up how blatant the lion king was with stealing from Kimba The White Lion. And how many countless other stories they copied. Nothing in this is even close to the lion king. Where in TLK was there a lion fighting a water bison? Where in TLK did Simba have to earn his mane as an adult? Where in TLK did he free animals turned into trees? Where in TLK did they IMPALE anything on a rock?? You are just reaching. Disney can't claim actual animals in an actual place on earth. Stupid.

[@Tarathathe77wookiee]

To me, the Lion is the spirit of life and Buffalo is the spirit of destruction. To end the drought and return life to the plains, the Lion had to fight to release the water and restore the grass lands. The Lion's blossoming mane represents his triumph and continuation of the seasonal cycle. That's just how I see it.

[@maridelacroix1998]

Magnificent! The details on the trees that will later reveal the animais they represent is just incredible. Actually, every little detail in this short animated video seems to have been carefully studied and executed. Incredible job. And the way the lion defeats a tyrant buffalo and brings Nature back life is just amazing. Kudos to all of you!

[@TjarkoTarnen]

Interesting, very nicely done. If it weren't for the lion keeping balance the savanna would become a desolate wasteland. Like how they introduced wolves into Yellowstone national park and it increased plant and wildlife population and health.

[@beastmaster0934]

Yes. Because without predators to keep them in check, the herbivores populations would grow out of control, and destroy all the plant life, and the other animals would suffer as well.

[@dawn2941]

I feel like this is a representation of real human kings. They are the servants of their people and will fight enemies with the speed of a cheetah, the graceful movements of a giraffe, the strength of a lion(etc). This represents the lion's hunt, fight, struggle never ends, and they are the true kings of the savanna.

[@anuragrsimha]

This animated story is magnificent. It's remarkable how the animators portrayed the lion realising his place in the woods as king. I also loved the iconic portrayal of how the lion got motivated despite its (temporary) vanquishment from the devious buffalo. P.S: An alternatively good title for this animation could be "Demon of the Savannah".

Buffalo is Wall Street. Think about it. Sucks everything dry and has way too few natural enemies to be healthy. We live on a finite planet where some businesses grow as if infinite growth is possible. They hurt the planet and don't seem to care, only when it hits them in the pocket. Hence the buffalo is insane. And lion the cure.

The comments: Omg so glad it's not copying the lion king's style! (As if there's one way to draw/render a lion. Come on, people. TLK wasn't even the first lion-centered media. Kimba was.) Omg the herbivore as the villain! How refreshing! (I can list at least 10 popular instances where a herbivore is a villain. Just a quick look clears that up. Shut up.) *insert several dumb "comparisons" to the lion king* (Where are any of these elements, other than "there's a lion in it" is a valid comparison? Spoiler: Nothing.) I really wish some of you had your comment privilege revoked. Y'all are so infuriating. I bet I'll see "Don't Like Don't Read" but it's hard when I'm a fast reader and I try to find some hope in the replies calling you out for stupidity. Just appreciate the short film without your stupid comments.
